3D stellar evolution: hydrodynamic simulations of a complete burning phase in a massive star

F. Rizzuti, R. Hirschi, W. D. Arnett +5

Our knowledge of stellar evolution is driven by one-dimensional (1D) simulations. 1D models, however, are severely limited by uncertainties on the exact behaviour of many multi-dim…

Realistic 3D hydrodynamics simulations find significant turbulent entrainment in massive stars

F. Rizzuti, R. Hirschi, C. Georgy +3

Our understanding of stellar structure and evolution coming from one-dimensional (1D) stellar models is limited by uncertainties related to multi-dimensional processes taking place…

Dynamics in a stellar convective layer and at its boundary: Comparison of five 3D hydrodynamics codes

R. Andrassy, J. Higl, H. Mao +18

Our ability to predict the structure and evolution of stars is in part limited by complex, 3D hydrodynamic processes such as convective boundary mixing. Hydrodynamic simulations he…

Convective core entrainment in 1D main sequence stellar models

L. J. A. Scott, R. Hirschi, C. Georgy +5

3D hydrodynamics models of deep stellar convection exhibit turbulent entrainment at the convective-radiative boundary which follows the entrainment law, varying with boundary penet…

Dependence of Convective Boundary Mixing on Boundary Properties and Turbulence Strength

A. Cristini, R. Hirschi, C. Meakin +3

Convective boundary mixing is one of the major uncertainties in stellar evolution. In order to study its dependence on boundary properties and turbulence strength in a controlled w…

3D Simulations and MLT: I. Renzini's Critique

W. David Arnett, Casey Meakin, Raphael Hirschi +5

Renzini (1987) wrote an influential critique of mixing-length theory (MLT) as used in stellar evolution codes, and concluded that three-dimensional (3D) fluid dynamical simulations…
